Im planning on moving there as soon as I can raise the funds, and would like any info with, housing costs, weather, places to go, women, etc. Im mostly interested in the music scene, especially the punk/blues/country/rock scene, which is thriving there, from what I here. Any info would be appreciated.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Anyone who lives (or have lived) in Austin Tx:

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

You'll get a fair amount of house for the money, if you're buying.
Texas is a *very* conservative state, but Austin is a bit more "progressive."
It's artsier, funkier than the rest.
A friend of mine is considering moving there... he made an exploratory trip, and liked the place a lot.

Everyone I know that has been to Austin likes it. I guess it's become a sort of liberal refurge for people who can't afford the sky high cost of living in the coastal cities.
Once you leave the city limits though, you're deep in Bush country...if that bothers you.

Due to the fact that I live 4 hours away I cant stand it!
I feel sorry that it's MY state capital.
I got there couple times a year cause of family reasons and every time it's so abismal that I never want to return.
1. It's damn crowded (I can understand if you already live in a city that's crowded but when you come from a small town and you live out in the middle of nowhere you kinda miss the wide open quiet space as opposed to noise 24/7)
2. Way to many bums
3. Way to many people asking for money at the pump
4.Crime rate going up higher as days go by
5.Over crowded
I know I'm kinda putting a downer type vibe to it but I just cant stand the place, hell even San Antonio is better cause of the Board Walk which is awesome to see in Christmas time. I say San is a better place to be once you get use to the climate but I think Austin is a blight on Texas.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Bumpin this thread, cuz I haven't heard from an actual Austin resident.
To Jono24, Im from a small town, but have lived in various big cities, so I can handle everything you stated. i appreciate the input, but I am looking for opportunity, without moving to LA or NY.
Im really more interested in the music/single/nightlife scene, which from what I've heard and read, Austin is among the top in the USA for all of which, as well as housing costs, growth, and employment. My mind is made up, I'd just like to know some pointers about the city.
